I purchased this as a kit at the quilt shop in Sisters, Oregon, about four years ago. And then it sat in a drawer. Why, I don't know, because once I got it out to make it up, I was delighted!
Sometimes a kit is just the thing I need to get me motivated for a bigger, more involved project. Sometimes a kit does the trick. Yep, it certainly did this time!
This turned out to be a long table runner, which is perfect for our dining room table. It measures 16" x 71". I finished it and it has brightened up the long winter days we've had this season. Sweet!
This was one of my goals for the quarterly 2018 Finish-A-Long. So glad I put it down as a goal, because now I can thoroughly enjoy it!
Quilting with a smile,

That's really a fun tablerunner! Pretty and bright - I enjoyed looking at the way the blocks were made, too.
ReplyDeleteI do the very same thing, Barb...buy something I love, then put it away in a spot I won't look at again for awhile. I'm glad you brought the kit out and have made it to enjoy! It really is a bright and beautiful runner! Kaffe always uses the best colors, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteFantastic colors Barb. What a pretty piece to keep on the table. His bold florals always make for stunning results.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on getting this one done. I really like how you quilted it. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI thiink some Kaffee fabric is going to be my next "treat" as I love it too!!! Perfect for spring!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this runner! It's the perfect project for these cold wintery days.
ReplyDeleteI love this tablerunner! How bright and fun and what a great finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! Don't know whether you inserted the strips improv but it looks like it would be fun to try that way.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful finish! So nice and bright and colorful - that's just we all need about now with winter dragging its feet to exit. I just love it!

Such a colorful project! Perfect for Spring weather! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely something we have in common. Loving bright and colorful. :) This turned out GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteI like your bright colors -- surprising me because I'm not that big a fan of his fabric. I don't tend to buy kits at least not to make whatever pattern. I have been known to find kits on deep discounts and buy for the fabric. Congrats on finishing!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty runner, love the fabrics and pattern, great finish!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, like a beautiful spring garden full of blooms! Well done!
